The next day, the First Emperor waved his hand in the court, and the Decree of Grace appeared.
The entire court was shocked. Everyone was stunned by this decree that killed without bloodshed.
All the officials knelt down and praised the First Emperor's wisdom.
In response, the First Emperor proudly said that this decree was proposed by Young Master Fusu.
Everyone was in an uproar. The officials 'good impression of Fu Su increased exponentially.
In the entire hall, Huhai was the only one with a pale face. He looked at Fu Su with jealousy. Fu Su responded with an international friendly gesture, commonly known as the middle finger.
Huhai didn't understand, but he took it as a provocation.
After the morning court session ended, Huhai returned to the mansion while cursing.
Zhao Gaoli and Li Si, who had been waiting in Huhai's manor for a long time, were drinking and waiting for Huhai to return and tell them what had happened in the court.
"As expected by Teacher, my Imperial Father praised Fu Su in front of everyone in the Imperial Court!”
Huhai returned and sat down, his head hanging low.
Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other. Zhao Gao said,"
"Young Master, Fusu has already won the hearts of the people in Xianyang City. Now, he has also won the favor of His Majesty. If this continues, it will be really disadvantageous to us.”
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Li Si added,""Not only that, but the three dukes and nine ministers in the imperial court now have extremely high opinions of Fu Su.”
Huhai thought of what had happened in the First Emperor's study yesterday and the surprised faces of the officials in the court today. A fire burned in his heart.
He drank all the wine in the Wine Master's cup and looked at the two of them coldly. He said word by word,""I might as well go all out."
Hearing this, Zhao Gao and Li Si looked at each other and smiled.""The two of us are here to discuss this matter with Young Master.”
Huhai's face lit up with joy. He had thought that his decision would be stopped by the two of them, but he did not expect Zhao Gaoli to have such intentions.
He picked up Wine Master's cup and said,""Teacher, Left Minister Li and Huhai Jing.”
The three of them raised their glasses and drank together.
"Burp ~"
Fu Su, who had just finished half a barrel of beer, let out a long burp.
Fu Su now knew why people in the future liked to drink craft beer. The taste of craft beer was simply superior to industrial beer.
This taste could only be described in one word, absolute!
It was said that drinking without eating was not that enjoyable. Fu Su also felt the same way. If he had a bunch of skewers now, he would be able to drink until the sky turned dark.
"Young Master is drinking again."
At this moment, Qiu Yu walked over with a plate of white meat and a plate of dipping sauce.
This dipping sauce was made from chives and zhu yu, which were the five vegetables that the people of the Qin Dynasty usually ate. It was seasoned with fine salt. This was the top delicacy of the Qin Dynasty.
During the Qin Dynasty, the Five Vegetables referred to: Sunflower (winter amaranth), wild grass (beansprout leaves), scallion (Allium chinense), leek, onion.
Zhu Yu was a plant used to regulate the spiciness of chili before it was introduced.
When Fu Su saw the plate of white meat, his brain buzzed. Why did such a good natural black pork have to be made like this? It was so fishy.
However, for Qiu Yu's sake, Fu Su still symbolically cut some and ate it.
"Young Master, have you had a bad appetite these days?”Qiu Yu asked.
Fu Su nodded helplessly. It was not just that he had a bad appetite, he simply could not swallow it.
Seeing Fu Su nod, Qiu Yu said," Why don't I go to Xianyang City tomorrow to buy some cherries for you?"”
In an instant, Fu Su felt warm in his heart. It was really good to be a person with status in ancient times. People would remember him no matter what he did.
"Yes, alright." Fu Su nodded lightly.
Hearing that, Qiu Yu looked at Fu Su's handsome side profile and smiled.
She followed Fu Su's gaze and saw that this area was filled with unknown plants planted by Fu Su's servants.
The people in the mansion didn't know what the seed was. Qiu Yu was curious too, so she asked,""Young Master, what are these things?”
Fu Su raised his eyebrows with interest and said,""Potato, chili, cumin."
Qiu Yu had never heard of these things. He thought they were from the original Six Nations, so she didn't ask. She gave Fu Su a glass of beer and left.
Fu Su was really anxious about these things. As long as the chili and cumin were ripe, he could eat kebabs. Now, he only ate white meat and millet rice every day. If this continued, he would die of hunger.
With a thought, the system interface appeared in front of him.
[Host: Young Master Fusu.]
" Identity: First Emperor's eldest son."
"Strength: 80. (100 for Qin Dynasty soldiers)"
"Intelligence: 110. (100 for ordinary people)"
" Ability: Confucian Gongyang School, top-notch medical skills, physiognomy.”
"Prestige: 20,000 points." (The prestige he gained among the ministers because of the Order of Grace.)）
"Prestige Shop: Metal smelting technology (20,000 points), fertilizer (3,000 points), cane sugar manufacturing technology (5,000 points), top-notch sword techniques (5,000 points)
The Qin Dynasty already had metal smelting technology, but this technology was still far inferior to the hundred steel smelting technology of the later generations. However, Fu Su did not really need it now.
He could have fertilizer, but he only had three acres of land. It was not of much use even if he wanted fertilizer. It would not be too late to buy it when he planted good things and promoted them to the whole country.
The cane sugar technique was useless, and Great Qin's people had a problem eating their fill. Making cane sugar was useless, and Fusu did not like sweet food.
Fu Su had wanted to buy a top-tier sword technique, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to. Fu Su was Great Qin's eldest son, and he did not need to go into battle to kill enemies or compete with others. In the end, after thinking about it, he decided not to buy it.
It would be better to save up these 20,000 prestige points and see what better things there were in the future.
"I want to eat!" Fu Su looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. In the end, he shook his head helplessly.
......
It was late at night.
The First Emperor stood in the study and paced back and forth with the news that had been sent back to Xianyang from Meng Tian, who was guarding the border.
"We can't lose the Hetao region, we can't lose it! That's Great Qin's pasture, and if we lose it, Great Qin will no longer have any horses to fight against the Xiongnu!”
Then, he took out another bamboo scroll from the pile and looked at it carefully.
Looking at the title, he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he muttered,"The Xiongnu must be taking advantage of our Great Qin's attack on the Bai Yue to dare to invade!”
At this moment, a eunuch quickly walked up and reported,""Your Majesty, General Wang Jian is here."
"Quickly, let General Wang Jian in.”The First Emperor immediately stood up and prepared to welcome him.
"Yes, sir."
The eunuch left the room to report. Soon, Old General Wang Jian walked in.
The First Emperor hurriedly welcomed him. In history, the First Emperor was extremely respectful to Wang Jian. When the Qin State attacked the Chu State, Wang Jian said that he needed 600,000 Qin troops.
But at the same time, Li Xin said that he only needed 200,000 to take down the Chu Country. The First Emperor believed Li Xin, but he didn't expect to be beaten up by Xiang Yu's grandfather, Xiang Yan.
In the end, the First Emperor did not care about his face and personally went to Wang Jian's house to beg for forgiveness. Only then did he conquer Chu in one fell swoop. After Xiang Yan's defeat, he committed suicide.
